¿No les pasa que ven contenido de personas que están en una relación y les dan ganas de estar en una también?; sé que es un constructo social, y que uno no encuentra la felicidad en una relación y que es bueno aprender a vivir con mi soledad, pero oye, cómo se me antoja una relación a mi también.

LS. DUNES HEALING OLD WOUNDS THROUGH MUSIC IN PROVIDENCE, RI 07/15/23

L.S.Dunes, we can familiarize them as the "Super Handsome Group" known all over the globe. The incredible band has received an overwhelming amount of support just in their short time getting together and creating music for the world. But the word "Supergroup" just doesn't quite describe them. They are more than their success. The members of L.S. Dunes consist of all the right amounts of love, heartbreak, compassion, respect, friendship, rock, and a strong, strong love for music. And these members include My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Iero, Thursday drummer Tucker Rule, Thursday bassist Tim Payne, Circa Survive lead vocals Anthony Green, and Coheed & Cambria guitarist Travis Stever.

The most thrilling sound to one's ears, the drum beat to "Bombsquad" firing up and opening the set around 9pm Saturday night. Tucker Rule's crushing drum strikes made an enthusiastic entrance for his band mates. The crowd is wide-eyed with anticipation and excitement. The room is bursting with eager fans. The energy was held high throughout the entirety of this song. There wasn't a point in time where the crowd was still, and the room was silent. The emotion everytime I see this band play live is a rollercoaster. Observing the people in the room with you, you can clearly tell that these songs create an emotional, safe, and realistic space for the fans. The feeling you get watching L.S. Dunes perform live is chilling and heart-racing.

A moment in time where you almost can't help but feel a rush of adrenaline and emotion is about three and a half minutes into "Grey Veins". This was only the fourth song off of their set, but it didn't stop the emotional fans. The Microphone gets extended out into the crowd when the audience takes over and sings back every single lyric. Hundreds of voices singing "Stop trying to make it seem like you made a difference, you don't have to believe in anything. The catch is it isn't just sung regularly, It's sung in a harmonizing, confident tone. Almost like the crowd has been dying to sing that one part the entire time. I could feel around me that everyone was so in the moment, the many voices echoed off of the four venue walls. But the real tears won't appear until you hear the mesmerizing guitars to "Sleep Cult".

"Sleep Cult" was a phenomenal 2022 release brought to life at shows. In Providence Saturday night, L.S. Dunes ended their show with "SIeep Cult" off of their album "Past Lives". They balanced out their setlist perfectly with the transition from "2022" into "Sleep Cult". Both of these are well structured songs that seem to be a hint towards mental health advocacy. The fans gathered in close, swaying themselves slowly to the melody raising a light in the air. Tears flooded the strand on this specific song. Anthony Green repeatedly and beautifully sang the verse "I'm sorry that I wish that I was dead" Which touched so many lost souls. The build up on this was stronger than ever. It seemed that he had sung this part more times then previous shows and in the released version. It was a super spiritual way to wrap up the night.

It doesn't end just yet! The Providence show was packed with fun memories, key highlights, and special information. During the hour- long set performed by LS. Dunes, they spared some time for laughter. This band in particular is especially known for cracking a joke every now and then and having positive interactions with their fans. From Anthony Green putting a balloon into his shirt, to Frank lero saying "No whoop whoops", they classify as a goofy, talented dad band. Just released this summer, their new song "Benadryl Subreddit" has already made show setlists and seen a few crowds. It is currently streaming everywhere and has reached almost 200,000 listeners on Spotify.

I've always been a strong believer in music, it has gotten me through a lot of rough patches. I respect music artists of all genres. But for me personally, to really feel a connection to reality and life in the real world, it needed to be the kind of music that screams into my headphones about midlife crises, heartbreak, insecurities, mistakes, life and death, and the more "scary" things we face. The Iyrical structure in every song off of the bands debut album "Past Lives" perceives this. Sharing a room with music artists that have influenced positive energy at every venue they have played for their entire lives makes me feel honored to be standing where I am. Capturing moments that the band, the fans, and myself will remember for a lifetime.

SUNRAY MAGAZINE ISSUE 26

[abigailspinach]

Multiple outlets reported that Republican leadership has implored the conference to quit attacking Harris in racist and gendered ways, encapsulated by the shorthand of calling her a “DEI hire.”

Republican lawmakers…aren’t listening.

Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) today: “Intellectually, just really kind of the bottom of the barrel,” she said, adding: “I think she was a DEI hire. And I think that that’s what we’re seeing, and I just don’t think that they have anybody else.”

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) Monday: “The incompetency level is at an all-time high in Washington. The media propped up this president, lied to the American people for three years, and then dumped him for our DEI vice president.”

Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI) over the weekend: “A lot of Democrats feel they have to stick with her because of her ethnic background.”

Bonus from former Trump administration official and now Fox Business commentator Larry Kudlow: “Her whole history is DEI.”

We’ve been talking about this since way back when Harris was elevated (ha). Racism and sexism are baked into the MAGA movement; “fuck your feelings” and the freedom to express those bigotries are part of its appeal. Trying to get its members to sublimate those beliefs for a general electorate is a toothpaste/tube situation.

It just dawned on me that the snake, Jonathan, is probably named after the satirist, Jonathan Swift.

Just like Snake has an Emily and a Brontë, he probably has a Jonathan and a Swift....

DEMOLITION LOVERS ON ROCKY BEACH

Laying back on the rock, I let it all fade. I see the lines in the sky, then the dapples of light shining through the pinprick holes in the blackout velvet curtain. Turning my head, I see the world lain on its side. The layers of the ocean breaking up the shining reflection of the city. The stars shift under my gaze, squirming as if they resent being seen. I let my body go, or perhaps I come back to it. I shrink the ever expanding bursting bubble of my world until it's just this. Just me and the sky with her shifting stars and the sideways world with its shining city lights. I breathe in time with the guitars. Nothing to remove me. I let it all happen.

النهاردة قاعدة أنا ورحمة نستعيد ذكريات طفولتنا اللي قبل ما أنا أتغرب وأسافر مع ماما وبابا وهي تفضل هنا في مصر مع خالتو وتكبر وأكبر ويعدي 12 سنة من غير مانشوف بعض ولا نعرف حاجة عن بعض ولا حتى في تواصل بيننا ويشاء القدر أنزل مصر عشان الدراسة وأعيش معاها ٣ سنين بس في بيت تاني غير الشقة اللي إحنا عملنا الذكريات فيها، قعدنا نضحك ونهزر ونتتريق على سذاجتنا وإحنا أطفال ..

لحظة صمت وتبادل نظرات ..

تيجي؟

يلا ..

لبسنا ونزلنا قولنالهم هنتمشى وأخدنا عربية تودينا المنطقة اللي إحنا كبرنا فيها، ماكانتش بعيد هي ربع ساعة أو تلت بالكتير، نزلنا أخدناها من أولها لآخرها مشي لحد العمارة اللي كنا عايشين فيها ..

حسينا كل حاجة زي ما هي بس إحنا كبرنا شوية، عم أحمد بتاع التموين، عم مينا بتاع الفراخ، أم محمد بتاعت العيش البتّاو واللبن، كل دول زي ماهما بس ولادهم ��بروا وواخدين مكانهم أو واقفين معاهم،

وصلنا تحت العمارة بصينالها كدة ولاقيناها شبه مبقاش ساكنها حد، ناس المنطقة بيبصولنا بإستغراب،

طلعنا فوق، كنا عايزين نطلع السطح عشان كنا دافنين فيه أرنب أنا وهي زمان 🤦🏻‍♀️ طلعنا لحد سابع دور لاقيناهم حاطين باب حديد ثدام السطح وممنوع الدخول، كانت ضلمة أوي وروحها مش زي زمان مهجورة كدة وطبعا مانسيناش نبص على فيلة الشنّاوي اللي قدام العمارة اللي البواب بتاعها لسة مماتش بس أصحابهامش موجودين من زمان وكان فيها كل الحكايات المرعبة، سمعنا صوت حد بيتنحنح ورنة تليفون، إترعبنا لأن الله أعلم الراجل ده مين ولا بيعمل إيه، ولو شافنا بنتين وحدنا ممكن يعمل حوار،

صوت خطوات ..

نزلنا جري قبل مايلمحنا ونزل ورانا ولحد ماوصلنا تحت وبعدنا عن العمارة ماكانش هو نزل ولا شاف شكلنا، طبعاً في واحد حسّنا ناس مريبة بس الحمدلله شكلنا البرئ ساعدنا ان محدش يكلمنا ولا يشك فينا،

قعدنا نضحك، كنا مبسوطين أوي ولفينا في السوق ودخلنا محلات قديمة أووووي، شوفنا المسجد اللي كنا بنستنى بابا وعمو فيه وإحنا صغيرين يوم الجمعة ونقعد نعد جزم الناس اللي بتصلّي، حسينا الزمن رجع بينا لورا ووقف ..

الإحساس حقيقي كان جميل وأنا ممتنة للجنان بتاعنا وممتنة لكل الذكريات اللي إستعدناها وممتنة لليوم كله من قلبي 🖤.
